Charleroi sign Osimhen permanently

The Belgian club have activated their purchase option on the striker.

Victor Osimhen will not be returning to VfL Wolfsburg from his loan spell at RSC Charleroi. The Nigerian striker joined the Belgians on loan last summer and the Jupiler Pro League club have now taken up their purchase option on the 20-year-old.

Osimhen joined the Wolves in January 2017 and made his debut on Matchday 33 of the same season in a 1-1 draw against Borussia Mönchengladbach. In total, he made 16 appearances in a VfL shirt – 14 in the Bundesliga and one each in the DFB Cup and Bundesliga relegation play-off. He netted 12 goals in 25 games for Charleroi last season.
